The not so exciting adventures of a girl and her fondness for things

Recent Entries

So Since LJ has gone the way of the scary with the moving to the russian servers and the weird TOS, I have moved everything here. And am deleting my livejournal. This is weird. I've had that LJ since 2002, the year I graduated high school. That's 15 years. And though my posting there stopped pretty much when I moved to Tumblr, it's still a thing.

Her: Maybe you are anemic, and should drink some blood.Me: I think that is the best plan. just to be safe.Her: Indeed!Her: Find someone on the internet....be all coy and silly....meet up with them...BLOOD DRINKING NO LONGER TIRED.Me: vampirisim for the modern ageMe: :DHer: Thank you craigslist! Her: Enabling vampires since...I dunno, whenever it was made.

At it's simplest, it's a public bathroom. This is a fairly inaccurate mental image of the place, but it is a start. There's the sinks, around the bend are the stalls. And then there's another bend. More stalls. Sometimes another counterful of sinks. If you go far enough there are showers. Somewhere along the way you run into the first of who knows how many locker rooms. There is no end. Miles and miles of bathroom. Sometimes, it is clear this is not a well-tended bathroom. Moss grows on the walls. There are puddles on the floor, generally from spots where a toilet has split in half, or the sinks have been left to overflow. It's never filthy, just ill-kept. Usually the farther you go, the more moss, but this is not always true. Sometimes it starts at the beginning and gets worse. Sometimes everything is sparkling clean, no matter how far you travel. You are never alone. At times there seems to be a whole city in there with you, going about their lives, doing what needs doing, trundling along. Other times there are small groups seemingly living in isolated rooms. Regardless of the people, the snakes will keep you company. They are everywhere. Sometimes more, sometimes less, and occasionally you will find a room so full of snakes you cannot walk across it. If you ask, they will move, if a tad grudgingly. They glide through the maze, silent and if not friendly, then at least ambivalent. They come in all sizes, all breeds, and colors, many not entirely found in nature. You are always free to turn around and go back the way you came. No-one will stop you, and didn't you have something you needed to do, before you came in here to wash your hands?

Combat is nice. I of course played a mage, and WHEE. Ahhh, my beloved Primal spells. FIERY DEAAAAAATH.

I am rather fond of Lady!Hawke (snerk) voice.

The framework in which the story is told is intriguing, and I think I will like it.

Dialogue will take some adjusting to. On the one hand, I reaaaaaaaaaally love Mass Effect, so I know it works, But I still want ladyhawke to say EXACTLY what I pick. Ah well.

The redesign of a previously seen character CERTIANLY makes her more awesome looking. I rather like it, but I can see that it might irk people.

I think I will really enjoy the game when it is here (WANT IT NOW) and this has certainly fired up my fantasy gaming engines. I am really interested to see how the world I left as my Grey Warden will affect the things and characters in the new game. There's at least one character that will be VERY affected.

So, is it sad when I get excited about unexpected but delightful shipping for my own character? My poor little changeling from 1906, so out of place in 2010! She is going to exist in a state of adorable flusteredness.

Well it looks like this year I caught the bug after Christmas instead of before. Something is trying to worm it's way into my chest, and it is most ugh-inducing.

Christmas and all it's attendant parties went rather well, even though I was exhausted by the end. Good times were had! I must remember the skittles vodka in the pantry and start using it. Clever gift, that.

Sigh, I'm suffering an overload of things I could be doing, all of which are fun, but I am likely going to stick with playing a game, either Mass Effect 2 or Professor Layton. So It goes~

Also I think I may have hit my limit on concurrent RP games: 2 d&D campaigns, and two Changeling campaigns. Braaaaain

Got a radio adapter for my Zune. At only $9 I figured it was worth a shot, and it is the official merch. It seems to be working pretty well, which is quite nice. Saves me shelling out for a car stereo when I can't really afford to do that any time soon.

I've totally gone evil-genius with my buildings in Minecraft. A glass tower that reaches the clouds with lavafalls cascading from the top? Just screams Evil, I think.

Yet another reason I love my boy: because we heard a kitten crying and couldn't help it we both came home and I was upset and he holds me and says "I know, I wish we could save all the kitties too." He is the best boy.

EEEEE. My Kindle is set to ship tomorrow, which means I should have it Thursday or Friday! EEE! I am going through my fabric stores to find some nice ones to make the cover from. Or at least, fabrics that go together. Happi times!

I also have the new Professor Layton, so puzzle-solving glee ahead! Mmm Professor!

Wheee-hee! Ordered a kindle today! So excited. I won't get it for a while because of backordered-ness, but that's okay. I only have today and tomorrow of work to get through before the weeeeekend! 10 days in a row of working every day is more than I can stand without much complaint. I would very much like to go back to shelving again, so long as it's not children's. Don't have to deal with patrons and it's nice and quiet.

I must make an ikea shopping list. Need a coffee table and I would like some lamps and possibly a new comforter. Ve shall see.

Just to be on the safe side I has a wordpress and I'm currently importing all of my LJ into it. I doubt this will change anything since I am sadly out of the habit of posting here. (I really should try the whole blog 365 thing and get back to posting again)

now I am gonna take a nap because it's rp night and I don't want to be groggy if we have to fight the vampire again.
